You’ve got to remember that the one thing Facebook cares about is keeping people on Facebook as long as possible, so they can show as many ads as possible and make the most money they can.

That’s why they’re going to push posts that are getting attention to the top of peoples’ newsfeeds.

Now here’s how you ‘game’ the system (legally).

At the end of your post, request an action such as liking, sharing or commenting.

Click ‘like’ on every comment, even your own.

Include an eye-catching image on each post you make. Nothing complicated – simple works best.

Respond to every single comment people make.

Whenever possible, respond to those comments with another question that gets the commenter to make another comment.

When you respond to each comment, tag the person in it for an extra notification on their homepage

Your goal is to make it appear to Facebook’s algorithm that there’s a ton of activity on your post. The more activity there is, the higher Facebook will place your post in peoples’ newsfeeds…

Simple logic, and it works. If you want social media to work for you, do a little work for it!

Do you remember the television series, “The Odd Couple?” You might have seen reruns of it on one of those channels that broadcasts old shows from the 60’s and 70’s.

The Odd Couple, starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, was a smash hit and one of the most beloved shows of all time. But it’s creator and executive producer, Garry Marshall, was young and terrified:

At the time, I was pretty new to television and I went to work every day of the first season scared to death. I desperately wanted to do a good job, Unfortunately, I didn’t even know what a ‘good job’ looked like. One thing I did know was that people were looking to me for answers and I had to be ready with them. I had to make a decision right or wrong.

And time and again he did make those decisions.

You might be new to online marketing, and you might terrified, too, of making a wrong decision. That’s okay.

Any decision is better than no decision. Any action is better than no action. After all, you can’t learn from mistakes you never get a chance to make. You can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket, and you can’t get rich online if you don’t DO something.

Just learn to make decisions and carry those decisions out, and you’ll be fine.

A little terror is a good thing – it keeps you on your toes.
